### Content
WHAT IS HE DOING HERE...
SO IT REALLY WASN'T A DREAM AFTER ALL...?!

DID THIS MAN ACTUALLY SAVE ME...?!
BUT WHY?

OH, MY INJURED FINGER!
DON'T TELL ME HE WAS STILL WORRIED ABOUT THIS?

HE EVEN CHANGED THE BANDAGES...

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO STRENGTH...
DID THE DUKE REALLY TAKE CARE OF ME ALL NIGHT LONG?

HOW DID HE EVEN THINK TO COME THERE

TO SAVE ME?

WHAT FOR?

WHEW, HE SCARED ME.

ugh, it hurts so much...

I'M GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR HIS HELP, BUT IT'S STILL BETTER IF WE DON'T CROSS PATHS AGAIN.
I NEED TO CHANGE.

SINCE HE'S ASLEEP...

NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN, RIGHT?

THANK YOU.

DAMN IT...

LAST TIME, I WAS TOO EMOTIONAL TO REALLY TAKE EVERYTHING IN,
BUT THIS MANSION TRULY IS BEAUTIFUL.
SO MUCH SO THAT IT REMINDS ME OF THE BARON'S ESTATE WHERE I LIVED AS A CHILD.

THAT'S ALL IN THE PAST NOW.
IF I KEEP CLINGING TO MEMORIES, I'LL ONLY HURT MYSELF.

IT'S TIME TO GO HOME.
TODAY IS THE DAY I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON THE DUKE'S CARRIAGE,

SO IT'S TIME TO GO BACK TO HARSH REALITY.
VIVI, IT'S ME, HUGO.

HUGO!
HEY, VIVI!
